16/17-second Lightning!?!?!?! WTF?!?!?
16/17-second Lightning!?!?!?! WTF?!?!?
First off, if it is someone on here.............I greatly apologize for posting this, but maybe some constructive criticism will get you running something a "little" better.
I was at the track last night, in line waiting to run (which I'll get into in a whole nother thread....UGH!!!), and I had my friend go and see what this white '99 or '00 L would run........he comes back and tells me it ran a 16.3x! WTF.............ARE YOU SURE?? NO WAY!!!! What, did he forget to launch until 3 seconds later or something??
But guess what? He backed it up with a 17.XX!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My friend says it was sideways all the way thru the first 100' or so, which means he must have been powerbraking it up to like 3000 or something, who knows.
Someone please help him..............If you're on here, we want to help you..............you can't do that man..........you're killing the public's views of our trucks!!!
Made me feel much better about my eventual deplorable runs last night!! Onto my decrepit runs...........see other thread

Could be a F one fitty V6 with the lightning sticker and body package.

Maybe he was running on 4-cylinders. LOL

I ran a 16.2 once when I hit the rev limiter and had my boost cut off. He's probably power braking in the burnout box, hitting his rev limiter and causing the boost to be shut off. Did he realize his times sucked?
2000Black beat me to it. Your friend launched with excessive wheel spin, thereby activating the boost cut off. He needs to either roll into the throttle a more gently, or unplug his boost solenoid. I would suggest a combination of both.

I know what happened guys..he had an F-150 with the Lightning kit!! Ever see the badass Lamborghinis but when you look at the speedo it goes up to 120, looks like a lambo, under the hood looks like a v12, but its fake, they make kits to put on the engine or somethin to make it look like a v12 when its actually a v6..this poor individual paid $20k for the whole thing, wheels, ground fx, and the engine stuff. 17 second L, thats as bad as a 14 second viper gts
